I’m a preschool teacher with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to older kids. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English and passionate about creating age-appropriate activities that support learning and fun. I love doing arts and crafts, role-play games, cooking simple recipes with children, and having fun dance parties that keep them active and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and nurturing, always focused on creating a safe and positive environment. I’m also comfortable with basic household cleaning and have daily experience caring for dogs, including walking and feeding them. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and highly attentive to children’s needs.

Hi! I’m currently going into my junior year of college and have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I’ve worked at a daycare since 2022, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children, planning activities, keeping them engaged, and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and energetic, and I genuinely love working with kids! I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and interests, whether that means doing arts and crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, playing games, or just spending time with them. My experience at a daycare has also made me comfortable caring for multiple children at once and handling the different routines and responsibilities that come with childcare. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and providing dependable care while making sure their children feel comfortable, safe, and have fun!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
